We launched our first ever South American ZubaBox – DellSolarLearning Lab – in partnership with Dell on 26th May 2016 in Cazucá, Bogota (Colombia). Through this program, Computer Aid is building local institutional capacity to ignite aspiration-led learning for marginalised youth of Cazucá who came to the area to escape the violence caused by the armed conflict between illegal armed groups and the national army.
The solar powered internet lab in part of a multi-country youth learning program, bringing together Dell technology and long-term engagement with Computer Aid’s ICT4D expertise. The Solar LearningLabs provide a unique space for enriched learning and access to some of the best skills training, for traditionally underserved children and young adults. The program brings together expert, incountry trainers who build local partners’ capacity to deliver 21st century skills that are most contextually valuable to young people in the community.

Youth

Youth is the time of life when one is young, but often means the time between childhood and adulthood (maturity). It is also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one who is young". Its definitions of a specific age range varies, as youth is not defined chronologically as a stage that can be tied to specific age ranges; nor can its end point be linked to specific activities, such as taking unpaid work or having sexual relations.

Youth is an experience that may shape an individual's level of dependency, which can be marked in various ways according to different cultural perspectives. Personal experience is marked by an individual's cultural norms or traditions, while a youth's level of dependency means the extent to which they still rely on their family emotionally and economically.

Terminology and definitions

General

Around the world, the English terms youth, adolescent, teenager, kid, and young person are interchanged, often meaning the same thing, but they are occasionally differentiated. Youth can be referred to as the time of life when one is young. This involves childhood, and the time of life which is neither childhood nor adulthood, but rather somewhere in between.Youth also identifies a particular mindset of attitude, as in "He is very youthful". For certain uses, such as employment statistics, the term also sometimes refers to individuals from the ages of 14 to 21. However, the term adolescence refers to a specific age range during a specific developmental period in a person's life, unlike youth which is a socially constructed category.

Aid

In international relations, aid (also known as international aid, overseas aid, foreign aid or foreign assistance) is – from the perspective of governments – a voluntary transfer of resources from one country to another.

Aid may serve one or more functions: it may be given as a signal of diplomatic approval, or to strengthen a military ally, to reward a government for behaviour desired by the donor, to extend the donor's cultural influence, to provide infrastructure needed by the donor for resource extraction from the recipient country, or to gain other kinds of commercial access. Humanitarian and altruistic purposes are at least partly responsible for the giving of aid.

Aid may be given by individuals, private organizations, or governments. Standards delimiting exactly the types of transfers considered "aid" vary from country to country. For example, the United States government discontinued the reporting of military aid as part of its foreign aid figures in 1958. The most widely used measure of aid is "Official Development Assistance" (ODA).

Mental health

Mental health is a level of psychologicalwell-being, or an absence of a mental disorder; it is the "psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment". From the perspective of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life, and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. According to World Health Organization (WHO) mental health includes "subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others." WHO further states that the well-being of an individual is encompassed in the realization of their abilities, coping with normal stresses of life, productive work and contribution to their community. However, cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined.

Health First

Health First is a not-for-profit community health system located in Brevard County, Florida. The fully integrated delivery network (IDN) is led by President/CEO Steven P. Johnson. Founded in 1995, Health First operates four hospitals—Cape Canaveral Hospital, Holmes Regional Medical Center, Palm Bay Hospital and Viera Hospital—and is home to the county's only Level II Trauma Center. Health First also includes Health First Health Plans, which offers a variety of health insurance options across Central Florida, and Health First Medical Group, a multi-specialty physician group. Health First also offers outpatient and wellness services, including fitness centers, home care, hospice care and aging services.

Viera hospital

The newest hospital, Viera, opened in 2011. It cost $166 million. It has 100 beds, 273,000 square feet (2.54ha). There are 250 employees.

Procedures

In the year ending June 2010, there were 899 hospitalizations for angioplasty, the most selected surgery. There were 1,000 C-sections, and more than 1,000 knee replacements. Holmes had 228 open-heart surgeries. They cost from $108,377 to $139,040.

Roger Riddell's 2008 book DoesForeign AidReallyWork? was the first attempt in more than 20 years to survey the evidence around whether aid actually works. It was also the first to examine the role and impact of development and emergency aid provided by both official aid agencies and by NGOs.
His keynote address to the 2014 Australasian Aid and International DevelopmentPolicyWorkshop summarised his findings, and provided an update on aid debates and thinking since the publication of his 2008 book. Roger discussed what impact we ought to expect aid to have and outlined ways in which its impact could be improved.

Cashing in on Digital Aid Payments

In collaboration with: US Global Development Lab
Powered by USAID
Can cash delivery pathways promote enduring economic infrastructures?
The debate about cash assistance for humanitarian and development aid has shifted. The WorldFood Program distributes an estimated one-third of its aid in the form of cash. Recent studies on cash assistance--such as the International Rescue Committee’s impact evaluation report, Emergency Economies: The Impact of Cash Assistance in Lebanon --have found that cash assistance has a positive impact on recipients and their local economies. These studies also increasingly point to the influence that digital payments may have in fostering the growth of inclusive financial ecosystems that deliver economic benefits long after the end of crises.

Kids with Guns: UK's Army Cadet Force (Full Length)

In a new episode of Rule Britannia, VICE joins the UK'sArmy Cadet Force and asks what the youth club can give British kids who may not have a lot else.
The Army Cadet Force has over 46,000 cadets from the ages of 12 to 18, training in 1,700 detachments all over the country. The super low-cost club evenings and training camps equip teenagers with discipline and skills in everything from orienteering and military knowledge to weaponry, first aid, and sports.
Smartly uniformed and proudly representing Queen and Country, the young cadets are taught to embody British values. The theory that cadet activities could keep youth on the right track has seen huge government funding allocated to expand the cadets by next year.

DeanGlenn Hubbard, entrepreneur Eric Tienou '03 and professors Bill Duggan and Gita Johar discuss economic development in Africa. Hubbard, the Russell L. CarsonProfessor of Finance and Economics, recently coauthored "The Aid Trap" with Duggan. The book advocates for aid investment directly into the small business sector rather than through NGOs. Johar, the Meyer Feldberg Professor of Business, is an expert on consumer psychology. Tienou grew up in Burkina Faso and is involved with several entrepreneurial efforts in the area. One example of how the development of the small business sector is taking place is emerging through Columbia Business School's partnership with the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDBS) in Tanzania, Africa. The partnership is made possible through Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women program. ProfessorsMurray Low, Eric Abrahamson and Gita Johar spent last summer working in Tanzania to teach students and UDBS faculty members. The goal of their work was twofold: to prepare local students to earn a cobranded advanced certificate in entrepreneurship and business management, and to facilitate UDBS faculty members in learning interactive case method teaching. The School is also helping to establish a PhD program at the African university. Columbia Business School community forums offer students the opportunity to discuss timely issues with faculty experts and distinguished guests. Recent topics include the impact of behavioral economics on business and policy, and the government's response to the financial crisis.

In collaboration with: US Global Development Lab

Can cash delivery pathways promote enduring economic infrastructures?
The debate about cash assistance for humanitarian and development aid has shifted. The WorldFood Program distributes an estimated one-third of its aid in the form of cash. Recent studies on cash assistance--such as the International Rescue Committee’s impact evaluation report, Emergency Economies: The Impact of Cash Assistance in Lebanon --have found that cash assistance has a positive impact on recipients and their local economies. These studies also increasingly point to the influence that digital payments may have in fostering the growth of inclusive financial ecosystems that deliver economic benefits long after the end of crises.
This event will explore the potential of digital payments as a cash transfer modality for long-term economic development. Can the ecosystems built to transfer cash for humanitarian or other aid be used to extend financial services to underserved populations? Can these digital pathways be used to deliver other types of aid? Can these systems be robust enough and have the necessary safeguards to contribute to economic resilience for recipient communities? What partnerships must be forged to effectuate these ecosystems and how can we balance potentially competing interests between third-party providers, such as banks or credit card companies, recipients, and aid agencies? What data and customer protections should be put in place? How can we ensure equitable access to the most vulnerable of aid recipients (youth, women, refugees, and individuals with disabilities, for example)?

In a new episode of Rule Britannia, VICE joins the UK'sArmy Cadet Force and asks what the youth club can give British kids who may not have a lot else.
The Army Cadet Force has over 46,000 cadets from the ages of 12 to 18, training in 1,700 detachments all over the country. The super low-cost club evenings and training camps equip teenagers with discipline and skills in everything from orienteering and military knowledge to weaponry, first aid, and sports.
Smartly uniformed and proudly representing Queen and Country, the young cadets are taught to embody British values. The theory that cadet activities could keep youth on the right track has seen huge government funding allocated to expand the cadets by next year.

Bucks County program gives second chance to first-time adult offenders

In 2013Bucks County, Pa. quietly rolled out a unique trial-diversion program that is described as a Youth Aid Panel for adults. Called Community AccountabilityProgram, CAP as it's better known has recently expanded to Central and Lower Bucks, after enjoying success in its Upper Bucks pilot program. The program handpicks first-time adult offender who appear before a panel of peers who decide on a punishment; if the offender completes the 30 to 90 day probation period and tasks, the arrest is expunged.

Community Forum on African Aid and Development

DeanGlenn Hubbard, entrepreneur Eric Tienou '03 and professors Bill Duggan and Gita Johar discuss economic development in Africa. Hubbard, the Russell L. CarsonProfessor of Finance and Economics, recently coauthored "The Aid Trap" with Duggan. The book advocates for aid investment directly into the small business sector rather than through NGOs. Johar, the Meyer Feldberg Professor of Business, is an expert on consumer psychology. Tienou grew up in Burkina Faso and is involved with several entrepreneurial efforts in the area. One example of how the development of the small business sector is taking place is emerging through Columbia Business School's partnership with the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDBS) in Tanzania, Africa. The partnership is made possible through Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women program. ProfessorsMurray Low, Eric Abrahamson and Gita Johar spent last summer working in Tanzania to teach students and UDBS faculty members. The goal of their work was twofold: to prepare local students to earn a cobranded advanced certificate in entrepreneurship and business management, and to facilitate UDBS faculty members in learning interactive case method teaching. The School is also helping to establish a PhD program at the African university. Columbia Business School community forums offer students the opportunity to discuss timely issues with faculty experts and distinguished guests. Recent topics include the impact of behavioral economics on business and policy, and the government's response to the financial crisis.
